I've created a new address on my wallet and in 5 seconds blockchain.info emailed me a backup of my wallet twice. Is this normal? I haven't requested it.I am not a fan of keeping a wallet backup on my mail since it can be hacked.

Edit: I just received another wallet backup to my email. This is the third time.

Yes, you get an automatic backup every time you make changes to your wallet, just store it in a safe location.

If you don't trust that email account maybe you shouldn't be using it on Blockchain.info.

I suspect it could be done with a native client plugin but if it needs to be dependant on a native plugin then it might as well just be a standalone desktop lite client. May be some time in the future but for the moment my priority is to revise the iphone app and then get multisig working and/or support for a hardware wallet.

Hi piuk,

Any news on this topic? I really would like to see P2P mode on Chrome App.

There's no excuse for not doing it, other than to make sure their users don't have any privacy.

An email from Blockchain.info is certainly related to Bitcoin, and an AES encrypted file is as good as a GPG one. There's not much loss of privacy in Blockchain.info's emails, although I do agree with the general sentiment about other services.

Wallet Backup

Attached to this email is an AES encrypted wallet backup which contains everything you need to restore your bitcoin balance. You can use it to restore the wallet at anytime at My Wallet or using the 3rd party MultiBit Desktop client.

Your wallet identifier is: [redacted]- (Unsubscribe)

That's the full email, minus the identifier, and I just posted it on a public forum. Even the identifier doesn't get you much, although I've redacted it because it does provide some additional security to the password. Perhaps Blockchain.info could include the option to not send the identifier in the emails.

I recommend asking me for a signature from my GPG key before doing a trade. I will NEVER deny such a request.

Do you not also have the option of receiving email notifications of every incoming transaction?

Should we really be forced to choose between having the convenience of those notifications and letting Gmail index a the full details of our financial transactions, or else giving up the notifications and keeping a bit of privacy?

Good job, if i send bitcoin via SharedCoin, MyWallet takes the entire balance of my bitcoin address. So i lost about 0.15 bitcoin...because the sharedcoin feature dumped my entire balance and sent the rest to another address, but i have no more account access because I thought that the fucking wallet just take the money, which i want to send.

I'm having trouble receiving notifications. They stopped working when I imported a private key for an address. I've checked and uncheck the box, but I dont get emails, HTML 5, SMS, or even google talk notifications.

I've even changed my email address with the notification box checked and unchecked, but in the "verify your address" email, it says notifications are disabled. That doesn't change no matter what box I check.

Anybody else having this issue?

NOTE: The change is always sent to a new address - just keep that in mind.

The more people that use it the better for Bitcoin!!!
